A Vision (from Tällberg Forum 2005)
”A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein
My vision is that knowledge of the basis of life and nature are as equally self-evident to learn and to teach as the alphabet and fundamentals of mathematics are to the children of the world and as profitability, leadership and politics are to decision-makers.
In my vision people learn in and from nature, we let ourselves be inspired to new exciting developments and innovations from the genius of life and nature. With this attitude we begin to respect, revere and be thankful for life for generations to come.
In my vision we all have, through our insight and knowledge about how everything is interconnected and all of our need of each other comes from the optical illusion of which Einstein wrote – ”widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
